VENUE<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are delighted to welcome you to Jaca<\/strong>, a privileged spot in the Aragonese Pyrenees that combines extraordinary historical wealth, a long-standing University tradition, and an incomparable natural setting. Known as the “Pearl of the Pyrenees,” the city stands out for its decisive role in the origins of medieval Spain, having served as the first capital of the Kingdom of Aragon under the reign of Ramiro I in the 11th century. This historical importance is evident as you stroll through its streets, dominated by the majestic Cathedral of Saint Peter\u2014a landmark of Romanesque art on the Iberian Peninsula and a key milestone along the Aragonese Way of Saint James\u2014as well as the striking Citadel, an impeccably preserved 16th-century pentagonal military fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joining this deep cultural heritage is a close connection to academia and research. Jaca is the historical birthplace of the University of Zaragoza’s Summer Courses, pioneers in Spain since their creation in the 1920s. For nearly a century, the iconic Residencia Universitaria<\/em> (University Residence) has hosted professors, scientists, and students from around the globe, turning the city into an intellectual meeting point in an exceptional environment and serving as the ideal setting for MycoJaca 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find more information at https:\/\/visitjaca.es\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n TRAVEL INFORMATION<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way to come to Jaca is by train (https:\/\/www.renfe.com\/es\/es<\/a>) or bus (https:\/\/www.avanzabus.com\/destinos\/jaca<\/a>\/), from Zaragoza Delicias Station (https:\/\/www.adif.es\/w\/04040-zaragoza-delicias<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
